Im 28 years old and have been quite healthy. I am 8 months postpartum and had bowel issues after my delivery. There was a ball of flesh just outside my anus right after delivery but it went away within a few months. Recently I had painful constipation and that cleared up too. Now for a while I have noticed my stools are narrow. And soft. I feel like my anus doesn't open much when I try to pass stool. It opens very little hence the narrow stools. Anyway I tried inserting my finger inside and I feel a barrier. I need to push that aside to go further in. Is this how it is? What's that soft muscle I feel? The finger doesnt go straight up. I have to push that muacle aside and push my finger jnin a curved angle.
Any insight on this is appreciated because I can't go to the doctors for 2 weeks
